So I have school on Monday, sadly. :( Luckily, that doesn't mean I can't write! ;D I have a lot planned for these next couple of chapters so be prepared as Scar (The Lion King) would say. ;) Onward, my loyal subjects!
Gnomeo's P.O.V.
After I washed up, Juliet and I decided to go to the food court and grab a bite to eat. It seemed a lot fancier than what we were used to, but anything for my darling wife. I went ahead and ordered for her while she was in the restroom to surprise her with an anniversary dinner. And I had a wonderful night planned for her. When she came back, she sat next to me and noticed the smile on my face.
"Well, someone looks happy. What did you do?" she smirked.
"What? Can't a guy just be happy to have a wife as great as you?" I smiled as I kissed her hand. She giggled.
"How was I so lucky to find someone like you?" she smiled as our lips met. We then pulled away slightly.
"I know right." I gloated. We both chuckled and brought ourselves back into a kiss. I could kiss Juliet forever. I just wish there were more ways to show my love for her, and that's what I will do for her today. I was so lost in her lips until we heard music playing. We pulled away as we realized it was "Your Song" by Elton John. We both smiled at each other. This song reminded me so much of Juliet. I began to mouth the words as she giggled. The waiter finally brought our food and drinks. "Thank you." I told him. "Here's a tip." I said, handing him a five-dollar-bill. He took it and smiled as he walked away.
"You ordered for me?" Juliet asked.
"I got your favorite. And don't forget our diet cokes." I smirked. We raised our glasses and clinked them together playfully. We chuckled as we each took a sip. Just then, I remembered something. "Oh yes, and one more thing." I then pulled out the thin box I'd been carying around and handed it off to Juliet. "Happy Anniversary." I said with a smile. She opened it up and revealed a bracelet with a four-leaf-clover on it that said 'Lucky to have you' on it.
"Oh, Gnomeo, this is amazing." she said, in amazement. "Thank you so much." she smiled, embracing me in a hug. We pulled away slightly and shared a quick kiss. Then we went back to our meal. I'm not sure how long we were there, but I had the best time. Just me and the love of my life having a good time together, laughing, joking around, smiling till our cheeks felt like they were gonna crack. We had the best time. We finally finished off our food and then headed back to our room.

Benny's P.O.V.
Katie had just woken up from a nap so, as written on Juliet's long list, we gave her some milk and then decided to take her over to the Capulet's garden. There was just one problem.
"Hey, um, Tybalt, how do you open up the stroller?" I asked him.
"How would I know?" he scoffed, holding Katie in his arms.
"Could you help me out here?" I begged. He set Katie down gently on the floor and came over to help me out. We tried and tried and tried again but still failed to get it open. I tried once more on my own but wound up with my arms tangled in the straps. Tybalt started laughing. "Yeah, yeah, laugh it up!" I scoffed at him. Then we heard giggling behind us. We looked over at Katie crawling towards us with a toy in her hand. Tybalt picked her up and sat her on the couch.
"Stay there." he told her. She giggled again as Tybalt came back over and untangled me from the straps. Eventually, we finally got the stroller up and ready to go. "There we go. Alright, Katie, let's get going." Tybalt said, turning towards the couch. But Katie wasn't there! "Katie?"
"Don't tell me you lost her!" I said, sternly. We both looked over and noticed that the door was open. "Oh no." I whispered, about to panic.
...
Gnomeo's P.O.V.
Juliet and I were relaxing in the hot tub in our room while listening to music. It felt good to just lay back in the water, close my eyes and float. I looked over at Juliet, looking as beautiful as ever. I reached out for her hand and took it. Her eyes opened by my touch, but she smiled. "I'm having a great time, Gnomeo." she whispered. I tugged her arm gently, telling her I wanted her to come closer.
"I'm glad you are. And, as promised, I think I'll take you to that dance tomorrow." I told her. She leaned in closer to my face and wrapped her arms around my neck as mine wrapped around her waist.
"And I guess this is just a bonus?" she smirked as she sat on my lap.
"Maybe." I flirted back. We giggled as we pressed our lips together. We continued to float as we kissed and my lips traveled her face and neck; our hands slowly traveling each other's bodies. I started kissing her neck. She wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me closer. We made a quick switch as I gently pinned her to the edge of the hot tub. I began to kiss her lips passionately as I wrapped my arms around her back and ran my hands up it with a gentle touch. We were interrupted when Juliet's phone started ringing. We pulled away sadly as Juliet reached over and picked up the phone. "Hello?" she answered. I began to kiss her neck again gently, not even caring that she was on the phone. I heard Tybalt through the phone. "Jules, we gotta tell you something." Tybalt exclaimed through the phone. "Can it wait?" she asked as I continued to kiss her neck and travel up to her cheeks. "Well..." Tybalt mumbled. "I'll take that as a yes." she said. I continued to kiss her face and tried to kiss her lips. She tried to kiss me too, but she was still on the phone. I went back down to her neck as Tybalt continued to talk. I couldn't hear anything he was saying though. I ran my hands up her back again slowly. "Well, how's Katie doing?" she asked him. "Is she-" she started. She stopped in mid-sentence, realizing I had just undone the back of her bathing suit. I just continued to kiss her face gently. "Hold on, Tybalt, I'm gonna have to call you back." she said. Not even listening to what he had to say, she hung up the phone and pressed her lips against mine passionately. It all went downhill from there.
Back with Benny and Tybalt...
Tybalt's P.O.V.
I hung up the phone and felt like I was panicing. "What is she doing!?" Benny asked, freaking out.
"Something with Gnomeo, I'm sure." I told him.
"We have to find Katie! If we lose this kid, we're doomed! Or worse: dead!" Benny paniced. I gave him a quick slap.
"Calm down! We're gonna find her. She couldn't have gone far." I assured him.
"Maybe she went to the Capulet's garden on her own." he pointed out.
"I'll go look there. You search around the greenhouse." I instructed.
"Alright. I hope we find her." Benny said, calming down. We both headed out the door and began our search for Katie. I ran out the garden gate and raced into the alleyway into the Capulet's garden. I took a quick look around to see if anyone had her, but I didn't see anyone with her.
"Hey, has anyone seen Katie?" I called out. Everyone looked at each other and shrugged. "Well, if anyone sees her, please let me know!"
"You mean you lot her!?" Lord Redbrick asked in horror.
"She got out on her own while Benny and I were getting her stroller." I explained.
"Everyone, keep your eyes out for Katie!" he told the garden. "If you find her, bring her to me immediately."
I decided to go back to the greenhouse and help Benny look for her there. But if all else fails, we'll have to call the police and Juliet may never forgive me.
...
Juliet's P.O.V.
I gotta say, waking up on a boat is a lot different then home. I smiled at the thought of yesterday. I had an amazing, romantic day with my wonderful husband and I couldn't wait for the rest of our cruise and then get back home to our loved ones and our little girl. I felt my husband tighten his grip around me in his sleep which made me smile. I put my hand on the back of his and tried to go back to sleep. Just then, the telephone in the room rang. Gnomeo and I opened our eyes and both groaned as we sat up. Gnomeo reached over for the phone and picked it up. "Hello?" he answered, still tired. I couldn't hear what they were saying on the other line, so I just rolled over to face Gnomeo and lay down to try and go back to sleep for a few minutes. "Okay, thank you." he said. Then he hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" I asked with my eyes still closed.
"Just room service. Now, go back to sleep." he instructed, snuggling by my side and pulling me into his arms. I pulled the blanket over me to cover my bare body and nuzzled my nose to his. He gave me a quick kiss and we closed our eyes. It wasn't long until my phone rang. I grunted as I pulled out of Gnomeo's grip and reached for the phone.
"Hello?" I answered. "Good news, Jules, we have your daughter." Tybalt exclaimed through the phone. "Yeah, of course you do. Why are you calling me about this?" I asked, concerned. "Tybalt! Hang up the phone!" I heard Benny say in the background. "Gotta go!" Tybalt said as he hung up. I confusingly looked at my phone and then set it back down. "Well, that was weird." I said, outloud.
"So, I guess we won't be going back to sleep?" Gnomeo asked.
"Guess not." I mumbled. "But, I believe you promised me something today." I smirked at him.
"Why, yes I did, didn't I. But I can't remember. Was it this?" he asked as he began to kiss my shoulder gently and traveled up my neck.
"As much as I enjoy that, that's not what you promised." I said as he continued to kiss my neck. "You said, we'd go to that dance tonight." I reminded him, putting a hand on his cheek while he smothered my neck with kisses. Then he stopped.
"Well, a promise is a promise." he said, sitting up. He held out his hand. "Come on."
"I'm not dressed yet." I chuckled, making him laugh too.
...
After we got dressed, checked out some of the cool places around here and grabbed a quick snack, we went down to the dance and I was amazed by the look of this place! Green was decorated almost everywhere and the floor had a fire and ice swirl on it. It looked like a lot of fun! I was wearing my bracelet that Gnomeo gave me yesterday and admired it for a moment. Then I took Gnomeo's hand, and we headed out to the dancefloor. "So, think you can teach me that traditional Irish dance?" he asked, with a smirk. I rolled my eyes playfully.
"Mar más rud é." I said in Irish.
"Huh?" he asked.
"As if." I translated. We laughed as we began dancing to the music. Then they started to play one of my favorite songs. I began to sing and dance along to it.
Lucky You by Taylor Swift
There's a little girl in this little town
With a little too much heart to go around;
Live forever, never say never;
You could do better, that's what she says.
Mama named her lucky on a starlit night;
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite
Of the fact that she's different
And yet she's the same.
And she says do do do do do do do do,
Do do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you. (Do do do, do do do. Do do do, do do do.)
She sings her little song, she walks along;
A little pathway headed for the skies.
Left to travels, lives they unravel
Mind over matter, that's what she says.
Mama named her lucky on a starlit night;
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite
Of the fact that she's different
And yet she's the same.
And she says do do do do do do do do,
Do do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you, lucky you. (Do do do, do do do. Do do do, do do do.)
Do do do do, do do do do.
Do do do do, do do do do do-o.
Maybe she'll sing you do do do do,
Maybe she'll bring you into the skies.
Honey she'll love you, funny how some view
Angels above you ain't so far away.
Mama named her lucky on a starlit night;
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite
Of the fact that she's different
And yet she's the same.
And she says do do do do do do do do,
Do do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do do
Lucky you, lucky you.
When the song ended, I laughed at how much fun I was having. The rest of the time, Gnomeo and I danced the night away and had the best time ever! Once we got tired and it was nearing the late hour, we decided to go grab a bite to eat and head back to our room. I knew that the rest of this cruise was gonna be amazing. Especially since I was spending it with the one I loved and who loves me; Gnomeo.
Lord knows how hard I tried to make this chapter long for y'all. xD After many distractions and program problems, I finally managed to finish it within two days so that impresses me! And yes, I LOVE Taylor Swift! She's my rolemodel! I know what you're all thinking, 'she has way too many boyfriends.' Hey, my sister went through more boyfriends at 21 (she's 24 now) in a month than Taylor has in a whole year, and I counted! Anyways, I noticed this about a few days ago but thank you guys for over 100 reviews. That's pretty dang cool! ;D Love you all and keep on rockin' it! :)
